Dennis Hogan’s Army of Darkness Ash

This is an original Screamin vinyl figure model kit of “ASH” from the ARMY of DARKNESS movie put out years ago. The figure stands about twenty-two inches tall. And, with the saw attachement on his hand, it can be just a little bit off balance or “top heavy”. However, it still is a really cool figure kit.

The instruction sheet tells you that you can glue the saw hand or gauntlet hand into place for your finished figure model. However, I thought it would be cool to allow for both. So, I took some vinyl I had from an old kit and wound it into a small tube. Then I simply glued it on the end of the arm. This allows you to simply set either attachment on top as you can see in the photos.

The other small challenge I had with this kit, was that it comes with the book of Nekronomica (please excuse the spelling). Long story short, the ASH character has to find the book to get back home. So, with that, I needed to showcase the book. In the movie, ASH finds it sitting on a stone table. On my display, I simply broke pieces of styrafoam up and then used tooth picks and elmer’s glue to bond them together. Once together, I simply used “stone” colored spray paint on the table.

All in all, this is one cool looking kit. Everything was built and painted by hand.
